Lily Hyon (b. South Korea) is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. She creates props of bodies and objects as a study of how desire is coded in consumer and material culture. Using synthetic rubbers related to performance, commodified pleasure and disposability, she examines the fetish value of objects and their parallels to fantasy and horror.

Hyon received her MFA from School of Visual Arts in 2025 and her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2020.
